Do distributed cloned indexes increase search performance?

It looks like indexes on both nodes are updated with the same entries. Does distributed indexing load and index the same data from a source to both indexers?

UPDATE It turns out that I've configured it to send each search peer a copy of the data to index. Does distributed search work more efficiently if the indexes are distributed of if they are a clone of each other's data?

No, it does not. All you'll if you distribute search over clones is that you'll get two copies of each cloned event in your results.
